History
Bo's Place is named in memory of Laurence Bosworth Neuhaus, Jr. Bo died of liver cancer in 1985 when he was twelve years old. In the beginning it was a support Information & Referral Line, providing callers with free grief resources and support contacts in the greater Houston area. In 1995, Bo's Place expanded its services to include grief support groups for children and their families thereby fulfilling the critical need for a program dedicated to meeting needs of grieving children. Today, Bo's Place remains Houston's oldest and only on-going, free-of-charge, grief support program for children. Bo's faith, humor and openness were strength to his family. Bo left behind a lasting legacy of warmth and love that is reflected in the programs at Bo's Place. In this spirit, the tears at Bo's Place are tears that heal, bringing with them hope and recovery so children can grieve and move forward.
